I cannot lie. Sometimes it is hard to simply sit and relax, especially when Bob (we will call him Bob) starts drumming his fingers on the desk while I’m trying to work on the computer. Sometimes, I think he does it on purpose. He must, because I’ll be there working and suddenly. Drum drum drum. […]

Finished final content edits for a short story, sold a few small pieces, did a lot of research for an ongoing project and met someone with a surprising connection to my past. The priest who celebrated my mom’s funeral. That whole funeral was such a blur […]
Here’s my monthly post for the Insecure Writer’s Support Group, where the first Wednesday of every month we get together to share our concerns and support one another in this ongoing writing journey.
